New Romney tape- secretly recorded in 2002

Has this been posted already? Is it getting any MSM attention?

2002 MA Gubernatorial campaign

http://front.moveon.org/shocking-mitt-romney-footage-im-a-big-believer-in-getting-money-where-money-is-and-its-in-washington/#.UIfjeKnQuec.twitter

"I'm a big believer in getting money where the money is, and the money is in Washington".... "If you have people who really understand how Washington works... you can get money to help build economic development opportunities".

Basically, he's bragging about how he saved the Olympics by hitting up every Fed Agency in DC to raise money, and would do the same for MA.

We already knew that, of course, but maybe this tape will convince some others.

I really hope that Ann keeps the promise she made on the View. On Nov 7, they need to collect their things and leave this country.

I have seen it number of times and it has been floating around for quite a while. I'm not aware of any cases of the MSM picking up on it though. At this point I don't think any videos or decades old testimony are going to change the shape of this race. This is the final sprint and it is all about getting out the vote. By and large people have made up their minds. All that is left to do is get them to the polls and make them count.

And I was watching the primaries pretty closely. I bet most low-information voters haven't seen it.

This video is such a great demonstration of what a lying liar and flipflopper he is.

I scream at the TV every time I hear that man say "Olympics" like he just waved a wand and fixed it. TAXPAYERS fixed it. SOCIALISM, fixed the Olympics, not that asshole.
